Pretty Fool's Live Clearance in Infinite World

It was almost noon and the village chief was eating in the house. When he thought about what Jiang Zheng had said to him in the morning about not enough sacrifices and the original sacrifices had run away, he became furious. These were a bunch of rubbish that even a woman couldn't keep them under control.

"This meal is so disgusting! Go make it again!" The village chief's old voice scolded his wife and took his anger out on her. The wife seemed to be used to the village chief's behavior and walked towards the kitchen without saying a word.

Gu Chen and Lin Qi hid behind the door. When they saw the village head's wife leave, Gu Chen looked at Lin Qi, motioned him to wait at the door, and turned into the house.

At this moment, the village chief sensed someone coming in and thought it was his wife. He shouted, "Didn't I tell you to do it again? Don't you understand..."

The voice stopped abruptly. The village chief raised his head and saw Gu Chen standing in front of him. A black iron chain was tied around his neck and locked tightly. His voice was stuck in his throat and he looked at Gu Chen in horror.

Gu Chen moved the chain in his hand and swept a cold look at the village chief, as if the chain would break his neck if he dared to make a sound.

"Where is Qu Rou?" Gu Chen's voice sounded like it came from hell, cold and ruthless.

The village chief's face turned pale, his lips trembled, but he could not utter a word. His eyes were filled with fear, and his body involuntarily stepped back.

Gu Chen walked forward slowly, each step carrying a sense of oppression. The iron chain in his hand made a crisp sound, like the sound of a death knell.

The village chief finally couldn't help himself and stammered, "I... I don't know... who is Qu Rou?"

Gu Chen's eyes grew colder, as if they could freeze the air around him. He yanked the chain in his hand hard, and the village chief was instantly dragged to the ground.

As Gu Chen's fingers moved slightly, the iron chain began to tighten gradually, wrapping around the village chief's body like a snake. The village chief's face turned pale, his breathing became difficult, his eyes rolled back, and his life seemed to be gradually fading away.

Lin Qi saw that the village chief was under control, walked into the house and stood next to Gu Chen, looking at the village chief.

Just when the village chief thought he was about to suffocate to death, Gu Chen suddenly loosened the chains. He collapsed to the ground, desperately breathing in fresh air.

"Don't play tricks on me." Gu Chen's voice was low and majestic, which made people shudder.

The village chief was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "I told you, I told you... She was in the woods behind the village, in an abandoned wooden house... But she ran away!"

Gu Chen loosened the chains, looked at the village chief coldly, and continued to ask: "What is the sacrificial ceremony? What sacrifices are required? What will happen after it is held?"

The village chief looked at Gu Chen's chain with his triangular eyes, and finally said resignedly: "Our ancestors settled at the foot of this Jiyun Mountain. They made a living by refining poisons, but they didn't know that this technique of refining poisons had already laid the seeds of disaster." The village chief's voice was low and carried a hint of vicissitudes.

"As time passed, the number of poisonous insects on Jiyun Mountain increased. As they refined their poison, they continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of the mountain and gradually began to mutate. They began to spread to the villages below the mountain and attacked the villagers."

"Until the last village chief discovered a secret technique that could be used to worship the Goddess of Gu Insects to control these insects." Speaking of the Goddess of Gu Insects, the village chief's eyes revealed a trace of awe.

"Sacrifices must be held every three months, otherwise they will get out of control." The village chief sighed.

"Where is the sacrifice? What is the sacrifice?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

"Two men and two women. The women must live, nourishing the poisonous insects with their vitality; while the men, their life flames extinguished, use their dead energy to calm the poisonous insects' fury."

Lin Qi was completely stunned after hearing this. This dungeon setting was truly incredible. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked the system in confusion, "If the player is used as a container for Gu, can they still clear the dungeon after seven days?"

[No, they've already been transformed and will become NPCs in the dungeon, remaining there forever.] The system replied coldly.

——No way, this dungeon is too difficult. There are still four days left, and those poisonous insects might get into the players' bodies at any time.

——Who was the sacrifice? The men were most likely Zhao Jianguo and Li Zi.

——One of the women is Qu Rou, what about the other one?

——It can’t be an anchor party!

——Is the situation upstairs tight? My wife is a boy!

After listening to Lin Qi, Gu Chen said gently: "Let's go."

Lin Qi nodded and followed Gu Chen out the door.

When the village chief saw that they let him go, he left immediately. A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He would never let these two people leave like this.

He turned around, intending to gather the entire village to capture them. But the moment he turned, he felt a sudden chill on his neck. He lowered his head in shock, only to see that the chain, which Gu Chen had supposedly released, had somehow been wrapped tightly around his neck again...

……

Time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon when we left the village chief's house.

Lin Qi followed Gu Chen closely, taking small and quick steps, afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the pace of the person next to him.

He moved closer to Gu Chen and asked quietly, "Where are we going?"

Gu Chen stopped and looked at Lin Qi with his head tilted to the side, saying in a gentle tone, "Go back first."

Lin Qi nodded, without asking any more questions, and just followed Gu Chen's pace silently.

The two returned to the mountain together and found that only Fan Yue was sitting on the rock waiting for them, while Li Weiwei and Zhao Qing were nowhere to be seen.

Fan Yue saw Gu Chen from a distance. A flicker of unnaturalness flashed across her face for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. She quickly stood up, smiled and greeted them, and asked, "You're back! How's everything going?"

Lin Qi blinked his big round eyes and answered before Gu Chen could, "We already have a general understanding of the situation, but we still haven't found Qu Rou."

"Oh, really? What a pity." Fan Yue showed a look of disappointment on her face.

"How do you feel now?" At this moment, Gu Chen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. His voice was so cold that it seemed to be able to penetrate people's bones.

Fan Yue was stunned for a moment, then avoided Gu Chen's gaze and lowered her head to answer, "Much better, thank you for your concern."

Gu Chen looked at Fan Yue sharply, and Fan Yue's heart tightened, but she tried to remain calm. Then Gu Chen retracted his gaze, spread the black coat on the stone, and let Lin Qi sit on it.

Lin Qi sat down obediently, while Gu Chen stared into the distance quietly. After waiting for a long time, Li Weiwei and Zhao Qing finally came back.

Li Weiwei walked up to Gu Chen wearing high heels and explained the situation she had inquired about.

It was probably that the village chief would hold the highest sacrifice of each month, and Jiang Zheng, as the high priest, would perform the sacrificial ceremony.

"That Jiang Zheng is most likely the boss of the dungeon. He can control the poisonous insects." Li Weiwei said with a frown and a headache.

"Yeah." Gu Chen responded, then said, "It's getting dark, let's leave here first."
